A football club might say “We want a forward who plays like Ciro Immobile at Lazio, but we don’t have the budget to afford him. Which player is similar to him in Europe, who might be more affordable?”   In Episode 11, we look at an analysis which could help clubs to optimise their approach in the scouting process.
